Supernova: Seeding Talent in Physics and Astrophysics to Prepare the Next Generation Workforce in the Bay Area

物理(13)为了让湾区四所社区学院的学生能够进入加州大学圣克鲁斯分校(UCSC)攻读物理或天文学专业，加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的S-STEM项目为卡布里洛、德安泽、佛特希尔和哈特内尔社区学院的经济困难但有学术天赋的本科生提供了21个奖学金。为了让社区学院的学生顺利过渡到物理课程，已经设计了一门特别的课程。像加州大学圣迭戈分校的其他物理和天文学专业的学生一样，S-STEM的学生正在与系里的教职员工一起从事研究，并在NASA Ames、劳伦斯·利弗莫尔国家实验室和斯坦福直线加速器等机构参加校外实习。秋季社交以实习网站的演讲者为特色，而春季社交则面向三年级及以下的学生，为他们的毕业论文项目做准备。其他计划活动包括：1)季度聚会，2)辅导，3)年度研讨会，4)校友支持计划，5)就业安置计划。

Physics (13)To enable students from four Bay Area community colleges to enroll at University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) in physics or astronomy, the UCSC S-STEM project is providing 21 scholarships to financially needy but academically talented undergraduates from Cabrillo, De Anze, Foothill, and Hartnell Community Colleges. A special course has been designed to "smooth" the transition of the community college students into the physics program. Like the other physics and astronomy students at UCSC, the S-STEM students are engaging in research with departmental faculty and participating in off-campus internships at places like NASA Ames, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator. A fall social features speakers from the internship sites, while the spring social is being directed at third year and younger students to prepare them for their senior thesis project. Additional program activities include: 1) quarterly gatherings, 2) tutoring, 3) yearly symposium, 4) alumni support program, and 5) job-placement program.
